On a more serious note this is the way it should be handled, rather than civil cases as has been in the past. If for no other reason than fairness, you can't pit individual citizen's against multi-national conglomerates and expect fair results. While not perfect a criminal case at least redresses this balance, if the record industry wants to keep harping on with it's "Infringement is a crime" tagline then it needs to behave in the same way the victim of any other crime is expected to and inform the police and allow them to do their work, not use their wealth and power to take matters into their own hands even if they use the thin veneer of legality a civil case provides, and especially not using the blatant extortion tactics we saw last year in this country.

very well put chuckskull,and luckily for joe public they used crooked law firms to do it,and got bit on the a**.sadly these multi conglomerates have been ripping us off for years and even the "fine" they request is a rip off,in reality heavy fines don't put off serious pirates at all.
maybe if they didn't keep trawling out "greatest hits or re mastered copy" every five mins to cash in
and concentrated on "the music for once" it would help![]()

Another +1 to what Chuckskull said.
On a less serious note, I was half-hoping that this thread meant that bagpipes had been made illegal.
I continue to live in hope.

There is just one thing that I don't understand here:
How does pirating music help with self-esteem???Originally Posted by BBC News
I don't recall exactly and can't be bother to check (sorry) but I think it was the mental state coupled with the actual collecting, rather than downloading which boosted it.
Not sure, mental illnesses break all "expected" rules.
Edit: Perhaps someone should point out she was only pinched by the cops for illegal upload and therefore, distribution, it was not the downloading they went after her for (and IANAL but I don't think the police can lift downloaders).
how the HELL are Karaoke files worth more than the steam off my ..... tea? let alone tens of thousands of quidz.They seized computer equipment and found 7,493 digital music files and 24,243 karaoke files - worth an estimated £54,792 in the mainstream market.
